Patio Builders Walton-on-Thames

Having a well laid out patio area will not just add extra living space to your home but can also add to your property's value. Patio areas are a highly prized feature that homeowners and buyers in Walton-on-Thames covet. Homebuyers are prepared to pay a high premium for a house in Walton-on-Thames with a great patio.

Size: Determining the size of your patio is very important. As stated above, a large patio can overwhelm a smaller garden, and vice versa. You can figure out how large your patio needs to be by deciding on how you intend to use it and how many people it should fit. Measure the size of your garden to see how much area you are working with, how much space you are willing to allot to your patio, etc. One good tip I've come across, is to buy your patio furniture before you install your patio, arrange it where you expect your patio to be, and observe how the space is used, where people walk, etc. This will help you see just how much room is needed for walk space around the furniture, accessories, and more.

Positioning: When deciding where to place your patio, it is very important to consider multiple aspects and ask yourself a few questions. What is the purpose for your patio? Do you intend to entertain large groups of people, or host intimate gatherings? Depending on the purpose of your patio, you then need to consider the proximity to your home. If you are installing a fireplace or fire pit, you need to make sure there is a good distance between your home and where the fire will be contained. You need to look at the available space in your garden. An over-sized patio will overtake a smaller garden. Another consideration is the amount of sun or shade you desire. If you plan to use your patio for sunbathing, you need to make sure it is in the sunniest spot in your garden.

Shape: Shapes of patios are: Free-Form, Square or Circular. Free-form patios are asymmetrical, less predictable, and great for more informal gardens. Square or rectangular patios are the most common and can blend well with formal or contemporary gardens in Walton-on-Thames. If you like to entertain a lot of people, a large square or rectangular patio is a great way to go. Circular patios can either be a full circle or a half circle. The full circle patio is generally independent of other hardscapes and usually feature a focal point. Half circle patios abut either a building, such as your home, or another hardscape form, like a garden wall. Circular patios blend well into landscapes since there are no hard edges that stand out.

These things are important and you will be glad that you considered all of these options before you pressed ahead and actually built your patio in Walton-on-Thames. Planning is key with any project like this and it will be difficult to change things later if you get it wrong and your patio simply doesn't look right. Of course it is still possible to put things right, but not without a lot of mess and disruption. If there is anything you are not sure about there are plenty of great patio builders in Walton-on-Thames who can help you.

Once you have the shape, size and purpose of your patio planned out, you can then move on to selecting appropriate paving materials. Before you jump right in and order slate tiles to go next to your pool, you need to ask yourself the following ten questions:

Patios may seem like a simple task anyone can take on, but for a great patio that you are proud of and excited to show off, a little bit of time and thought needs to be put into the planning process.

Deck vs Patio

Decking or patios provide a terrific space in even the tiniest of gardens or backyards in Walton-on-Thames, to sit back and chill. But, what's the better option?

For those on a strict budget and concerned about building costs then decking comes out ahead. Measure for measure, decking is cheaper and quicker to construct than a slab patio of a similar size. In the long run maintenance costs can be more costly for wooden decking, but this can be reduced by using rot resistant, composite materials. Naturally there is invariably some routine maintenance to do, but this is the case for patios too.

If you have a preference for a hard wearing and durable area, that is where patios come out on top. These hard surfaces will last a lifetime, and even if a stone breaks or cracks, it won't have an adverse effect on the overall structure and can be easily changed. This is not so for a split or damaged deck plank, which will create a weak area in the deck which causes a risk and will have to be changed straight away. Whichever of these solutions you decide on, you can be confident that you'll wind up with a splendid outside space for al fresco dining and relaxation. So, if you were speculating on which is better - patio or deck - we hope this brief article has helped.

Walton-on-Thames Skip Hire Services

Regular household rubbish bins are perfect when it comes to general waste disposal, however for projects like patio laying in Walton-on-Thames, and other garden and home makeovers, they are simply not suitable (or substantial enough) for the rubbish and waste that is generated. Most local councils also stipulate that the disposal of any building or garden waste must be done in a controlled and environmentally safe way. Consequently you might be obligated to take your waste products to a recognised recycling and disposal site, if you are to remain on the right side of the law. Rather than undergoing frequent trips back and forth to the local council site with your waste materials, you could instead think about Walton-on-Thames skip hire.

Offering you an assurance that all your waste will be taken to a council approved facility for proper and safe disposal, a reliable Walton-on-Thames skip hire company should be your best option. The skip hire service will need to be aware about the kind of waste that is going into the skip, so speak to your building works contractor regarding the type of waste that is going to be created by the patio building project. The skip hire company may have to use an entirely separate disposal system, especially where dangerous asbestos waste is concerned.

The regulations which cover the safe disposal of hazardous waste are extremely strict, and consequently this is an undertaking that's best left for the experts. To ensure all rules and regulations are addressed effectively, both your patio layer and the skip hire company will work in conjunction.

When it comes to siting your skip, the perfect situation will be where you have a spare spot on your driveway or garden. On the reverse side of the coin, if you've got no suitable area, and you park your car on the street, you may need to seek the help of your next door neighbours, and see if they are willing to leave you a space for the skip someplace close to the patio area. If you want a skip to go on the curbside, you will need a permit or licence from the local council, however this is not needed for a driveway or private land in Walton-on-Thames. Enquire whether you need a licence at your local council offices. This will make certain that the placing of your skip will not cause any problems.

Walton-on-Thames area skip hire businesses offer skips of all sizes and shapes, and it's possible to rent pretty much anything from mini-skips and skip bags right up to enormous roll-on, roll-off skips and builders skips. For skip hire prices in Walton-on-Thames GO HERE.
